Blendy Pen issues, grrrrrrrrr

My dd was coloring with them & got a little on the carpet, the beige carpet...... AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Not that this carpet is in the best condition, but still. So does anyone know how to remove blendy pen from a carpet?????? Tried a couple of things that didn't work, Fantastic w/Oxy, alcohol, Zeb or something like that. Any suggestions or tried & true methods??????

I used this when my daughter spilled red kool-aid on our carpet and it actually worked. Good luck.

Start with Dawn dishwashing detergent - the original blue type. Add five or six drops to two cups of warm water. Dampen a white cotton cloth with this solution and lay it over the stain. Then place a clothes iron on top of it, set on "low".

Let this sit for fifteen minutes, and don't press down. The red stain will start to wick up into the cloth. You should see red on the cloth. Fold it to use a clean part or apply a new cloth, and repeat the process.

It takes patience to get red stains out of carpet, but even year-old Kool Aid stains have been removed using this method. Repeat the process again and again until there is no more transfer of the red stain to the cloth
